Detailed changelog will be published there as I don’t want to pollute app’s description in Suunto App with detailed changelog.

I test it today during lunch ride.
Data quite consistent with Windfield app and Windy app on my Garmin Edge.

Would be an ultimate app for all outdoor activites if it would combine also one screen similar to Safe suunto app.

Would it be possible to show the baro change too? and maybe sensor temp (even if it is not showing the true outdoor temp.)

Perfect work and very practical. People like you make our lives so much easier.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@v.sacre interesting idea. However:

1. There’s safe already.
2. Too much in case of S+ is no good
3. You can unload S+ and load different one during the workout so there’s no need to have a one-app-fits-all

I like the wind direction arrow the best. I’ll have to use it during a real exercise to see how well it works. But I see it’s potential for cycling (to avoid head on wind) and sailing.

Of course, the issue is always where from the weather data comes. Unfortunately, usually, it is not overly granular.

I’m glad that you find this useful as this was my initial thought behind the dynamic arrow. Why think about directions if we can compute it from sensors and weather data and visualise easily.

I’ve tested red/green marks on opposite directions (head/tail wind) but it was too complex and problematic with colour coding on current vs forecast.

So in current version it’s just one arrow for the wind direction relative to the user. Also, I’m using fused direction, so it behaves in the same way as in the map/navigation. Compass when stationary and GPS while above ~ 2 km/h.

It’s a great idea and works great for me when I’m not moving.

But the wind direction arrow doesn’t seem to move at all/align with the wind direction no matter how much I rotate my hand/watch while cycling. I’m not sure if this is a bug or what?!

I am using the original Race.

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen this is how fused direction works. If you’re moving, direction is taken from GPS heading, not from compass. Compass is used when stationary.

I don’t exactly understand how fused direction works or is supposed to work.

But I thought the idea of the blue arrow is to indicate the direction from where the wind comes.

If I’m on the bike and check the arrow then the direction of the arrow is fixed, i.e., if I rotate my hand 90 degrees then the arrow also rotates 90 degrees meaning that the arrow now indicates that the wind is coming from a completely different direction. Basically, the arrow doesn’t reflect the actual wind direction.

Maybe I’m missing something and that is the intended behavior when moving?! Only when I’m stationary, does the arrow reflect the actual wind direction no matter in what direction I rotate the watch.
